Well my bebe has started on solids.. well kinda of. I was going to wait until he was 5 1/2 weeks but I figured my extended fam that was in last weekend would want to see it.. So I had everyone around the table, with the camcorder on, and.... he ate the 1/2 tsps worth of banana no problem. Then the next day the same. But then it was taking him longer to *you know use the little boys room* so I figured I would wait a little longer before I try again. Since, for now, I am making him his own organic baby food. I went out and got this gigantic organic sweet potato that I boiled, then pureed, then put in 2 ice cube trays, which I will then put in a ziploc bag for him for later. My goal is when he is a more regular eater that he will be eating all sorts of stuff- yogurt, peas, avocado, sweet potato, oatmeal, carrots, etc. So I hope to have little plastic baggies with this stuff that I can just let it thaw and serve!
Since he will be a vegetarian, as he gets older he will be having almond butters, tofu, whole wheat products, cage-free eggs, cream of wheat. I will be holding off on the meat-alternative products until he is a little older.. maybe in the 1 yr oldish range? But its good.. I was ready :)
So last night I put Eli down at 9:30ish, my normal time.. and he is talking to himself for a little then falls asleep. Then I hear him at 2:30 and his legs are caught in the slats (but he's fine) and I take them out, and leave the room. Then I hear him at 4, 5, and 6:45 still talking to himself. I have no idea if he got any sleep at all! It's his first all nighter without me!!
Cuteness with his older cousin!
